Year 3 and 4:  Specialty Training Year ST 6 and 7

 

Medical Psychotherapy: three days per week

In the third year it will be anticipated that one of the two subsidiary models of therapy will be introduced alongside the adopted major modality of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.  In year 4 the trainee will undertake more intensive/challenging clinical cases under supervision and pursue appropriate experience in all three therapy modalities, e.g. psychoanalytic/systemic/cognitive-behavioural or an agreed derivative therapy model of these three therapies.

General Adult Psychiatry: one day per week

The trainee will be expected to use their special interest/research time in General Adult Psychiatry.  This will now begin to be orientated towards developing applied skills in different psychiatric settings.  For example, the trainee could co-facilitate a reflective practice group in a community mental health team.  The trainee would also begin to join Medical Psychotherapy Consultations on behalf of other specialists seeking a medical psychotherapeutic opinion for complex psychiatric patients.

The General Adult Psychiatry component in year four will be decided on the basis of the trainee’s special interests and career aspirations
